Foukara asked Rumsfeld about, among other things, the Iraq war. He was very direct with his subject, asking straight out if he felt any responsibility for the deaths of innocent Iraqis because, in his words, the Bush administration "didn't secure the borders" of the country and sent in too few troops. Rumsfeld dismissed this suggestion. "You keep making assertions that are fundamentally false," he said. "Correct me," Foukara replied. Rumsfeld insisted that all of the troop levels had been highly vetted on multiple levels. "Does that make the numbers right?" Foukara interjected. |
